NBA Playoffs: Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder

Past Events

Memphis made a huge comeback in Game 4 to win in overtime, and take 3-1 series lead. The Thunder jumped out early and held a 17-point lead in the first half. The second half was a different game though, in which the Grizzlies clawed their way back and forced overtime. The game changer ended up being the Thunder turnovers, and the fact that Durant struggled late in the game once again. Oklahoma City needs to put together a full game, and find a way to take some of the scoring pressure off Durant, so he is not fatigued at the end of the game when he is needed most.

Kevin Durant stepped up once again to lead the Thunder to a win, and a quick 1-0 lead in the series. Memphis led much of the game, but couldn't stop Oklahoma City in the fourth quarter. As close as this game was it could have ended with either team on top, which means both Memphis and Oklahoma City have work to do, if they want to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
